About Wildlife & Nature Photography
My Wild Side
I chase moments, not just pictures. Most days, you’ll find me wandering Bengaluru’s wild corners, camera in hand, chasing that one shot I’ve had in my head for years. Patience, mud, early mornings - that’s my routine. I believe the real story isn’t just in the photo, but in the hours spent waiting for birds to show up, or in the thrill of spotting a tiger’s shadow.
How I Work
- My Nikon D3500 and 300mm lens are my go-tos, letting me keep a respectful distance from wildlife while still getting those crisp bird close-up portraits.
- I spend a lot of time editing - that’s where photos turn into stories for me. In-camera skill is tumba important, but I’m honest about the magic that happens after the click.
- I shoot on location around Bengaluru - Jakkar Lake, Sanky Tank, and sometimes random hidden spots in the hills.
What I Love Photographing
- Birds are my biggest draw. I’m obsessed with capturing their drama, action, and tiny details.
- Wildlife action shots - Shikras hunting, kites fighting the wind.
- Other creatures too: tigers, leopards, Nilgai, snakes, and the crazy colours of rock agamas.
- Nature macro photography - butterflies, mushrooms, leaves, all the tiny stuff that most people miss.
- The mood of the wild - misty lakes, rainy forest days, golden hour light.
Ellaru photography skills antare, but I’ll say it straight - it’s a mix of skill, luck, and a lot of stubbornness. If you want wildlife as it really looks, not just how it’s supposed to look, I’m your guy.

My Story
My camera’s my compass, always has been. From a small town to Bengaluru’s lakes and woods, I chase peace at 4:30 AM rides on my Activa, roads empty, mind clear. Had a rough patch, people thought I was done. But in that stillness, I found my feet again. Nature walks with me, I know it. Photography’s not just my job, it’s how I breathe and heal.
My Work
What I Shoot - Pet photography, wildlife & bird photography, and nature shots - from your furry buddy to wild birds.
How I Work - Ellaru photography skills antare (everyone talks about photography skills), but editing is half the magic. Upgraded my laptop just for this.
Patience is My Game - I’ll wait hours for that perfect detailed bird photo or candid dog park shot. Not in a hurry.
Gear Doesn’t Matter Much - Mostly shoot with my Nikon D3500 and 300mm lens, sometimes just my phone. It’s about how you see.
